You are making a table cloth for a party supply company. the table cloth needs to be 8 feet by 12 feet and you must add an additional 6 inches on each side to be able to sew weights into the hem so that the tablecloth won't blow off in a wind. how many linear yards of fabric should you buy?

There is 14 yards of fabric he should buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of a table cloth needed is as follows:

Length = 8 feet

Width = 12 feet

Since we must add an additional 6 inches on each side .

So, Length becomes = 8 feet + 6 inches

As we know that

1 feet = 12 inches

So, length becomes = 8×12+6=96+6=102 inches

Similarly, width becomes = 12 feet + 6 inches  = 12×12+6=144+6=150 inches

So, total length of fabric he should buy is given by

So, Total length of fabric in feet becomes,

Total length of fabric in yards becomes,

Hence, there is 14 yards of fabric he should buy.
